Th- This is my OS!
It was made for me!
I use Arch, btw.
Also fellow emacs user, I see.
Do you guys have some kind of radar for this?
No, we have an Emacs mode for this
Probably it refers to the keystrokes that stretch out across eternity, like control escape alt mother’s maiden birth certificate, etc.
As opposed to memorizing long strings of completely fictional and irrelevant keystrokes in vim, like :IDDQD!?IDKFA.
It all just boils down to preference. Btw these two sentences are the only ones in this message that are accurate.:-P
vim has sane keybinds. I am not doing fucking C-x M-c M-butterfly just to change some goddamn text. Modal editors are inherently superior. :)
One thing I like about vim - which I use literally daily - is that if you time-traveled like 30 years into the past, it would still have the same bindings.
That is actually relevant today b/c when you ssh into a cluster computing / linux farm environment, there is no “mouse”, no “clicking”, no “selecting”, etc., there is only what you can accomplish with your keyboard. Nano, pico etc. do exist - except of WHEN THEY DO NOT!!:-P - but vim is just EVERYWHERE. Regardless of how often I actually make use of that fact, I enjoy the confidence that it gives me that it is there for me when I need it:-).
Similarly for Unix shell scripting, and perl, vs. a language like Python where you never quite know what you are going to get irt to different versions on some other machine that you do not control. I mean, it’s great when it actually works but…
Then again, to each their own, and I begrudge nobody their preferences, especially if it suits what they are doing in the moment:-).
That’s another expensive burger place
All it costs is your soul
Is that Socrates?
Wow, Linux really has always been with us, all al 💾ng
It’s a great time get into Linux for those who want to try it. This year is actually the Year of the Linux desktop
except if they have a 10 series nvidia card ): (not me, a friend has one)
Except I have Radeon and it crashes even on windows under non old games xd
K fine u get a doctors note 🤪
I blame amd and their crappy chips :') at least I can use Wayland with it
I’m just waiting for a stable steamvr release that won’t break, then I can get rid of my windows partition

Awesome! I’ll give it another try then. Thanks for letting me know.
Yes, come in. We have snacks.
And pinguins
Just use debian and skip the hopping between overly specific distros
Is debian a good choice for new users? I know it’s used as a base for a lot of distros. But I’ve never used it. I assumed it was more technical and less user friendly.
Unless you have the latest, newest hardware, most things should work out of the box
Worst case scenario you may have to edit one file in /etc/apt/sources.list to enable some drivers and firmware
Dont let the internet scare you with stories about how only L337 hax0rs can use debian. Its really easy
Fedora?
Using a distro that isn’t a rolling release for a desktop is absolutely stupid
Meanwhile the 4 percent threshold has been reached, hoping many more will follow his suit.
Oregano?
I think in the original the sign said something like “league of legends”. I forget the exact game.
ok fine where do I begin
MintLinux and Pop!OS are normally the two front-runners for new users. Basically, if you use Steam and you don’t play online-only games with bad implementations of anti-cheat software, you are good to game on either.
Make a USB that you can “live boot” from, so you can test out how they work with your hardware. Generally speaking, Mint works better with AMD, and Pop! works better with Nvidea.
Here’s the official basic guide for Mint:

As an avid user who has primarily used Windows and Linux only for recovery purposes when Windows goes tits up , I’ve been playing with Nobara and Linux mint on a small 180gb SSD and I’m intimidated by the terminal knowledge that is needed when things don’t go right .
I also have a steam deck so technically I’ve been playing with arch btw
